Recall of last week discussion
Piaget –(Constructivism) knowledge is constructed
Accommodation – learning new skills; change in lifestyle; Mother comes to visit you give
her your bed
vs
assimilation = old schema anchored to new schema
equilabration > equalize: adjusted to the environment
Behavioralism | learning principle | focus on behavior
Stimulus > response > reinforcement
Feedback, extra credit, recognition, money, acknowledgement
Cognittive learning principle | focus on process
Input>process>output
Constructivism | Piaget Active; Interaction, Problem solving, w/environment
How do you become an expert
Situated cognition | happens in a community | external
Cognitive Theory | what’s in the mind | internal
Hands on rather than read @ it
Be a scientist; apprenticeship;
Ex: students in 800 are learning new professional jargon; after a year you are more
familiar w/ new environment
Group brainstorm
What did you learn today?
Where did you learn it at?
Pg. #168 | Driscoll’s article
Peripheral –learning @ the community
Inbound - just becoming a part of the community–
Insider- part of the community
